At the end of this season, we will have 15 players on the list (32%) that have played 20 games or less. Of that group, Setterfield, Williamson, Stocker, De Koning, Schumacher & Ben Silvagni should get the opportunity to add to their tallies in 2020, although Schumacher will need a new contract to do so.

SCHUMACHER WOULD BE LUCKY TO GET A NEW CONTRACT. WILLIAMSON'S BACK MIGHT NEVER COME GOOD, WHICH WOULD BE TRAGIC.

Polson, Macreadie & O'Dwyer will clog the main list for one more year.

IF HE CAN BEAT INJURY MACREADIE'S A KEEPER

Goddard, Deluca, Cottrell, LeBois & Owies are rookies with no prospects, whilst Kerr needs to hope a rookie spot opens up.

DISAGREE ABOUT DELUCA AND OWIES HAVING NO FUTURE.

Of those with more than 20 games to their name; Thomas & Pickett are gone from the main list already, with Fasolo, Lang, Garlett & Lobbe to follow. Bugg was an early scratching from the rookie list, with all of Goddard, Deluca, Cottrell & LeBois set to be turned over as well.

DISAGREE RE DELUCA AND MAYBE EVEN COTTRELL

At least six new additions to the main list, with another five to be added to the rookie list.

Respect

Still not getting the Thomas decision.
Surely there has to be more to this than meets the eye?

Maybe making room for Gibbs?

Gibbs, Betts and Sauce all on the chopping block at Adelaide. Lets get them all back now that Adelaide have drained the blood out of them. Only kidding - all on big money and no longer worth it. Betts $700 - $800k, Gibbs $600k, Sauce $400k - forget it !

The one I would go after from Adelaide is Alex Keith. Tall defender, former elite cricketer who is a Victorian I think and would not be on big dollars. All class and out of contract from what I have heard.

What is the Adelaide-Carlton trade tracker showing now?

We still have too many talls on our list.
Sos has to be thinking of trading one or two. Id Casboult is to stay Id think about trading Marchbank or even Harry.
Both fine players but you cant put a 22 together with them all in and they are too good to be depth players.
Teague showed he doesnt rely on height not replacing Jones or Jacob with like players.
There is no way (or at least I hope) that he playes Weitering, Jones , Plow and Marchbank in the same backline like the bad old days with Bolton. Cant see him playing Charley, Mclovin, Casboult and Harry in the same forward line.
In reserve we have TDK and BSOS coming though. Kennedy can play a role.

Put a 22 together. Show me how it works?
Do you think our talls are too good for depth players?
If Marchbank could help you get small forward (Papley) would you do it?

Well firstly it appears to be rare that we have all our talls fit at once.
Secondly Harry, and Charlie are fast and apply pressure
Thirdly we could always move Charlie onto a wing?

Big smiles.

(We give up #3, receive #9)

The Dogs and Port win next week and #9 becomes #8.
The impossible happens and we beats the Cats and St.Kilda wins and #3 becomes #4.

(Discounting any PPs of course.
